Is Spider-Man 4 Coming? Everything We Know About the Next Movie

Is Spider-Man 4 Coming?

After the massive success of Spider-Man: No Way Home, fans around the world are asking: Is Spider-Man 4 coming? And if it is — when will it be released? Will Tom Holland return? Will the story continue in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU)? In this blog, we break down everything we know about Spider-Man 4 — from rumors and confirmations to expected release dates, storylines, and returning characters.

Has Spider-Man 4 been officially confirmed?

Yes — partially. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has stated in interviews that Spider-Man 4 is in active development. Sony also confirmed in 2023 that they plan to continue Peter Parker’s story after No Way Home. There is no official trailer or release date yet, but work is reportedly underway behind the scenes.

Will Tom Holland return as Spider-Man?

Most likely, yes. In June 2023, Tom Holland confirmed that he had held talks with both Sony and Marvel about a new Spider-Man film. While he mentioned that he only wants to return if the story is meaningful, it’s widely expected that Tom Holland will reprise his role as Peter Parker.

Producers Amy Pascal (Sony) and Kevin Feige (Marvel Studios) have both expressed a strong desire to continue with Holland as the lead.

When will Spider-Man 4 be released?

There is no confirmed release date yet. Based on previous Marvel timelines, a 2026 or 2027 release seems likely. Delays have occurred due to Hollywood strikes in 2023 and Marvel’s busy production schedule.

According to insiders, the script is currently in development, but filming has not yet begun.

What will Spider-Man 4 be about?

After the events of No Way Home, no one remembers who Peter Parker is. This sets the stage for a fresh start: Spider-Man alone, without tech, mentors, or allies — back to his roots.

Rumors suggest that Spider-Man 4 will take on a more grounded and darker tone, exploring Peter’s loneliness, maturity, and moral growth. Fans are hoping for a return to the street-level style that made the character so relatable.

Who will be the villain?

No official villain has been confirmed, but some popular theories include:

• Kingpin – especially with his presence in Disney+’s Daredevil
• Scorpion – teased at the end of Homecoming
• Venom – hinted in the post-credits scene of No Way Home
• Kraven the Hunter or Black Cat – potential new additions from Sony’s universe

It’s likely that Sony and Marvel will choose a villain that connects both to fans and to future storylines in the MCU or Sony’s own universe.

Will Spider-Man 4 be part of the MCU?

Most likely, yes. The partnership between Sony and Marvel has been incredibly successful, and both studios benefit from Spider-Man’s presence in the MCU. Kevin Feige has stated that Peter Parker’s story is far from over in this universe.

However, it’s also possible that Spider-Man 4 will be slightly more standalone — focusing on Peter’s personal life and struggles in New York, rather than large multiverse arcs or team-ups.

What have Marvel and Sony said?

Here are some recent statements from key people involved:

• Kevin Feige (Marvel Studios): “We have a story, and we’re actively working on it.”
• Amy Pascal (Sony Pictures): “We are in the process. Yes, we’re making another Spider-Man film with Tom Holland.”
• Tom Holland: “We’ve had conversations, and we’re definitely talking about it.”

While no production has officially started, all signs point to an eventual continuation.

Is Spider-Man 5 also in the works?

Very likely. Some reports suggest that a new trilogy starring Tom Holland is being planned. Spider-Man 4 would then serve as the beginning of a more mature, second chapter in Peter’s story.

Meanwhile, Sony continues building its Spider-Man-related universe with upcoming titles like:

• Venom 3
• Kraven the Hunter
• Madame Web

These spin-offs exist in the “Sony Spider-Man Universe” (SSU), which may or may not connect with the MCU depending on future deals.

Summary: What do we know so far?

Conclusion

Spider-Man 4 is happening — it’s just a matter of time. All indications show that Tom Holland is expected to return, and both Marvel and Sony are preparing to continue the story. Fans can look forward to a new chapter that’s more personal, more grounded, and perhaps more emotional than ever before.
